Expert panel discusses Iran's future and the alternatives of the West
July 12, 2019
A panel of prominent politicians and Irane experts from the United States and Canada discussed the situation in Iran and what alternatives the EU and the US have to deal with the conflict with the country.
Moderator of the panel discussion in Tirana, Albania, on Thursday was Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield, former US Secretary of State.
Rudy Giuliani, New York's former mayor, John Baird, Canadian Foreign Minister, General James Conway, former US Marine Commander, was some of the speakers at the Iranian panel discussion in Tirana, July 11,
The panel agreed that the regime had stalled because of the popular protests in the country. The speakers pointed out that there is no military solution at the same time as the regime fuels the conflict in the region.
They stressed that recent attacks and the shooting of an American drone show that the regime is increasingly desperate and that the harsh penalties work.
"[The regime] does not want a military confrontation but attacks an American drone. These are irrational acts. When the regime becomes so irrational it means sanctions work, "Giuliani said.
"These irrational acts tell me that we have reached a crucial position. If I were Trump or Merkel or Macron, I would press the pedal because [the regime] is telegraphing that what we are doing is working, ”added New York's former mayor and was supported by the other speakers.
The panel on sanctions against Iran and the nuclear technology agreement
Several speakers pointed out that Iran's future is in the hands of the people and that the country has a viable alternative to the priesthood's sovereignty in the Iranian National Resistance Council (NCRI) and the People's Mojadein (PMOI / MEK), which is the primary victim of the regime.
“The only solution to an Iranian nuclear threat is regime change. It really is about the fate and future of the Iranian people. It's about values, freedom, promotion of democracy ... NCRI and PMOI / MEK provide a sustainable alternative to this regime ... The regime's first and foremost victim is the Iranian population, "said Ambassador Robert Joseph, US's former weapons control secretary.
Canadian Foreign Minister added, "The truth is our best weapon and Iranian people are our best supporters."
"We can exploit the regime's vulnerability, to support the Iranian people. The regime's senior officials know that they have nowhere to go when the regime falls. That they will be held accountable for their crimes, "said John Baird, highlighting" the 1988 massacre of political prisoners and the terrorist attack on the Jewish center in Argentina. "
General James Conway drew attention to the massive corruption of the regime, saying, "Every one of the regime's leaders has bank accounts in Switzerland that are growing while the Iranian people are living in poverty. We should reveal this so that the people will know the truth about the leaders of the country. "
Giuliani added, "We had a chance a few years ago when the sanctions worked. There are strong indicators that [today's] protests in Iran are becoming increasingly political. "
Ambassador Lincoln Bloomfield and Rudy Giuliani, New York's former mayor, are discussing Iran during a panel discussion in Tirana, Albania, on July 11.
“We need a massive promotional campaign. When people find out what [the opposition coalition NCRI] really stands for and is able to look through the accusations then they will understand. We have the same goal, which is a free democratic Iran ”. Giuliani emphasized with reference to the recent months' disinformation campaign against NCRI and its largest opposition group, the People's Mojahedin (PMOI / MEK) in Western media.
The panel discussion was organized in Ashraf 3 in Tirana, which is home to several thousand members of the Iranian opposition group, PMOI / MEK, after they moved to Albania's capital from Iraq in September 2016 under UN refugee agency, UNHCR.
